Camera Flash light.

banmidothegetba — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 03:36:18 GMT

Is there any possible way to make the camera flash light work when the click is made...

cause the flash light glows continuously this is bit annoying.. is there any other apps to over come this...

it seems this app. is only available in Android market. which is not available I'm many countries.

I'd rather appreciate SE to consider an update to fix this problem .

its weird that SE are pioneers in mobile cameras and and it frustrating to find their latest product doesn't have such basic feature

why don't you debrand your phone, which will give you access to the market and to the latest update

if you're interested on doing so you should know that flashing other firmware will void your warranty (unless you re-install the original firmware)

if you decide to proceed you need to download and install FlashTool

1) Flashtool (NOT the flasher)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746

Download FlashTool version 0.2.6 :
http://www.multiupload.com/Q2NRGI76JR (MD5: 9055964A6B8A649EF7B9DEFB809751B6)

2) the firmware

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793

X10a_2_1_A_0_435_GLOBAL -http://hotfile.com/dl/100649934/4add...LOBAL.rar.html-new

once you install FlashTool open the folder

inside there will be 5 folders

Custom

Drivers

Firmwares

Loaders

X10Flasher_lib

put X10a-2_1_A-_0_435_EW.ftf file inside "Firmwares" folder

click on X10FlashTool

click on Flash (it's a button)

Press Ok

it will ask you to connect your phone on Flashmode (turn off your phone, press the back button, then connect the USB) press OK

Click Flash

even if you don't debrand your phone you should install this two apps

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826311

Download

Gallery_X10

Music_X10

They were supposed to be included with android but Sony Ericsson removed them so there wouldn't be competition to their Mediascape

download them on your computer, then mount your phone and transfer the APK files (apps) to your SDcard, now unmount your phone, go to

settings

applications

unknown sources (is checked)

now use a Astro file manager or any other file manager app that will grant you access to the content on your SDcard,

look for the APKs, tap on them, and install them

I'll try to find the official statement but there wont modify the photo light, into a flash. even if it was advertised as Flash back in the days before it was released:P

if they could at least give us a quick on/off button for this photo light, maybe just bellow the focus mode
